About Me

My photo
I can't live without my mascara (because i have small eyes)... I love good chocolate, good cheese and good wine (especially White Chardonnay)... I love colourful patent leather ballerina from Salvatore Ferragamo (but they ain't have my size and I stil can't afford it)... I like reading (book, magazine and even map)... I like writing (and that's why I'm here)... I love travelling (and always wanted to be a back-packer)... I'm like an active volcano (so don't mess with me)... I have high standards and principles for myself, as well as for others (so sometimes people hate me)...

Post-Graduate Symptom :P

Well, it's been quite sometimes since I posted my last blog. Not because I am lazy, but because of some problems with my blog that causes me being unable to view my blog, but I solved the problem, haha.. BRAVO!! Everything goes back to normal now.

Have been staying at home for a month. Had a great Chinese New Year celebration, stayed at grandma's house, had a little more liqour than I should, sleep a lot, eat way toooo much and gain more weight. Most importantly, I have started job hunting :(

I am now a graduate. Erm, not officially until I receive my Advanced Diploma certificate. Now everyday, apart from browsing the net and classified for some suitable jobs, I am worrying dead for my final result. "What will be the result for my PR campaign planning paper?", "Did I do badly for my Socio-Comm paper?", "How's my thesis"...Questions as such keep running through my head. I think I can only put them aside when I finally get the result. I hate all these, I hate worries, but I always carry them with my life and I think, this will be the last time I care so much for my academic result, unless I have a gut to go for a Master course again...

Hmmmm, I have been spending my days in a pretty relaxing way, splurged on Cecelia Ahern's book and spend most of my time reading them, if not playing with PSP. I didn't get her celebrated "PS, I Love You" as her other three books are on promotion - which cost only RM 64.90 (yes, three books for this price). So, I think that's a good deal, since I have plenty of time to let myself wander around her fairytale-like love stories.





The books ... still in a wrapped condition. Apart from touching stories, especially those like "Kite Runner", I think I have a weakness for books with beautiful covers as well ... haha.. but of course, the storyline comes first!





Cecelia Ahern's "A place Called Here", "If You Could See Me Now" and "Where Rainbows End"... Currently reading "A Place Called Here", gonna finish soon...

I should enjoy moment like this as much as I can. Relax as much as I could before I start my hectic working life and face real challenges and meet all kind of people. I kinda feel like those days're gone. Those days where I will be carrying my CK tote with notes inside, holding uncountable sheets of literature review, sitting in the air-conditioned Old Town or the roadside Mamak with BeeJeff and Mr. C for thesis consultation are gone. Those days where we will hop to Pizza Hut for lunch are gone. Those days where we will spend long hours in front of computers, facing the spreadsheet, eyes blurring with all the figures are gone. Those days where we will tease and make fun of each others are gone. Those days where we lay together, talking something bad about others are gone. Those days where we share funny jokes and memories are gone.


And all these are the days I missed. I missed all of them badly. I started to miss what I have been done, whom I have met in my 4-year college life.


In front of me, is a long way ahead. I should move forward and bring along all the wonderful memories with me :) It was all of them, who contributed a precious part of my life, and made who I am today.

BIG Thanks to ... ESTĒE LAUDER

Guess What?!!? I have won myself a new mascara from ESTĒE LAUDER - their newly lauched Turbo Lash. They held a simple contest in conjunction with the launching of this mascara in January. So I went to the launching in KLCC in order to get my prize and met some celebrities like Daphne Iking, Jojo and Lynn.


OK... you'd probably say,well, it's only a mascara, what's so big deal about it?
For me, a mascara maniac, will definitely find this new mascara very interesting and yet innovative. Know why? Bacause it is the first "vibrating" mascara that operates with battery. I will have to install the small battery into the cap of the mascara and whenever I open it, the brush will vibrate automatically and I can really feel it on my lashes! Cute cosmetic toy isn't it?
Simply love it :)
But now I got to know that Lancome is also coming out with the similar mascara.





The new ESTĒE LAUDER Turbo Lash mascara. To use it, you will have to open the cap and install the battery first. The small silver coin-like thingy is the battery. Fun right?


And, when Chinese New Year was around the corner last month, I decided to buy myself a new blusher because my previous one from Ettusais was "crashed." Erm.. to be frank, I dropped the blusher on the floor and it became "pieces of blusher"...hahaha... I know I am clumpsy. I used to be a big fan of Ettusais but... hmmm... I am more to ESTĒE LAUDER now, maybe the sales personnel is much better, offering perfect service. And I love laura Mercier too, but too bad, I don't like the way the sales personnel treated me everytime I visit their counter. So I can't force myself to buy their product when they don't seem to care about the customers.


So, after some recommendations and trial session, I decided to splurge on the Silky Powder Blush in Peach Nuance. The colour - in a mixture of light pink and yellow is sooooooooo beautiful. And I think I made the right choice when I first used it at home as the texture is so smooth :) I like the blusher from Guerlain too, but it is way tooooooo expensive.. (ok, I have to assure myself that ESTĒE LAUDER is good enough for me!!)


The ESTĒE LAUDER Silky Powder Blusher in Peach Nuance. Beautiful tone in a classy casing...

And, as I said, the ESTĒE LAUDER sales personnel knows how to capture the heart of consumers. I bought a blusher, and I get an eyeshadow for FREE!! Not those trial pack but a real mono-colour eyeshadow :) How lucky am I and of course, how good are them in treating their customers... BIG ThankS!!




The eyeshadow in Vintage Purple that I got for FREE... haha ...
